White Hedge Dream

Chapter 160 Going to the Banquet

At dusk on the 16th day of the first lunar month, accompanied by a burst of commotion, the carriages and horses attending the banquet in the Dongyang Marquis Mansion drove out of the house.

"Jingyun got in the car?" Mrs. Dongyanghou looked outside while sitting in the car and saw Dongyanghou swaying forward on his horse.

Mother Xu said with a smile: "Get on, I personally helped the young lady get into the car."

There are restrictions on carriages and horses entering the palace.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou originally wanted to take Zhuang Li in a car, and in the car she could explain the things to pay attention to when entering the palace, but when Zhou Jingyun came back, she said she also wanted to take a car, so she prepared two cars.

Mrs. Dongyang Hou curled her lips: "When I was a child, letting him ride in a car was like killing him, but now he is so delicate that he can't stand the wind."

Xu's mother said with a smile: "The prince is not shy, but he wants to spend more time with his wife and is reluctant to be separated."

When she went to invite the young lady and the prince to go out, she saw it with her own eyes. The prince helped the young lady down the steps, saying that the ground was slippery with ice, and then he did not let go of his hand.

It's not that slippery.

"Just sit separately for a while at the banquet in the evening." Mrs. Dongyang Hou was angry and funny.

Mother Xu said with a smile: "A loving couple separated for a while is like three autumns apart."

Really? Mrs. Dongyanghou didn't speak anymore and looked at the car curtain. Through the swaying gap, she could see the figure of Dongyanghou in front.

When she first got married, Marquis Dongyang didn't want to be with her every day, and he rarely went out with her.

That's good, the smile on Mrs. Dongyang Hou's lips spread. Her son could experience the love between husband and wife that she had never experienced before.

…

…

In the slowly moving carriage, Zhou Jingyun looked at Zhuang Li.

"According to what you said, I pointed out that she and Zhang Ze have an unusual relationship." He whispered.

Because they had to prepare to go out earlier, the maids and servants kept waiting until they were sitting in the car, and the two of them could be alone and talk about their plans in detail.

Zhuang Li asked: "Did she admit it?"

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "She is a cautious person and will not admit it in person and leave behind any clues. However, her gesture is equivalent to admitting it, and her words also show that Zhang Ze is indeed about to find out about you and me."

The morning light was not yet bright, and I saw the sleeping person struggling with his face. He couldn't wake her up no matter how much he screamed. Finally, he picked her up and threw her into the bathtub as she said. The person finally woke up, with a head on his face. The water grabbed his hand and asked him for help.

"Help me kill Zhuang Li."

Zhuang Li, she is Zhuang Li, is she going to kill herself? Looking back on that scene at this moment, Zhou Jingyun still felt in a daze.

"Zhang Ze is already checking for Amber. My sister must have thought of the palace flower."

"I never told you that the flowers given by the Queen were made by my sister, and I indeed tore them to pieces."

"With the help of Xueliu, I sent the silk flowers I made to the palace, so that I can borrow them and go to my sister's dreamland."

"She has come to her senses now and knows that there is something wrong with Silk Flower. If Zhang Ze goes to check on Amber, he will eventually find me."

"The identity of Zhuang Li can no longer be used."

"Your Majesty, go report to Bai Ying, tell her my identity, tell him that you are innocent, and hand me over."

The previous words echoed in his ears and then dispersed. Zhou Jingyun looked at Zhuang Li sitting next to him in the carriage.

"I told her, but she didn't say whether she believed it or not. She really wanted to see you." He said, paused, "She is not afraid of you."

Zhuang Li smiled: "How could she be afraid of seeing me? She is just afraid that I will avoid seeing her. My sister is very courageous." After that, he looked at Zhou Jingyun and said, "Tell her, you know she is not only He colluded with Zhang Ze and even sent a letter to Empress Chiang. Was it Empress Chiang's arrangement to marry the King of Changyang? "

Bai Ying's future is at its most critical now, and she never wants to be mentioned about the past.

Zhou Jingyun is not an ordinary person. He speaks with weight in front of the emperor and can directly bring Bai Li to the emperor.

If Bai Li told the emperor about Bai Ying's past, it would be unfounded. With the emperor's character, even if Bai Ying had an heir, her future would be over.

Now, he handed over Baili to Bai Ying to show his sincerity, while Bai Ying did not pursue Zhou Jingyun's complicity, and the two sides did not embarrass each other.

In this way, I and the Dongyang Hou Mansion picked it out.

This is Zhuang Li's suggestion.

Zhou Jingyun looked at her, but he didn't do so after meeting Bai Ying.

There was no threat, no exchange, no taking out himself and Dongyang Houfu.

He sent himself and Dongyang Houfu out.

Maybe if she does this, she won't have to die when she meets Bai Ying.

Zhou Jingyun raised his hand to caress her temples.

Zhuang Li was a little startled, looking at the hand that was close to him, and gently stroking his hair.

"My hair is a little messy." Zhou Jingyun said, retracting his hand and not taking up the topic again, "When we enter the palace, men and women will be separated. I don't know when she will see you, and she will definitely not let me be around. You..."

Be careful.

These three words came to my lips and I swallowed them back.

Be careful, she was running to die.

"Have you made arrangements as well?"

Zhuang Li told him that he also had arrangements, but he couldn't tell him what the specific arrangements were, just like tying a red rope on his hand before.

Zhuang Li nodded.

As they talked, the noise of cars and horses outside was heard, the driving speed slowed down, and then there was a commotion.

"Get out of the way, stay out of the way."

"Didn't you see that it was Princess Jinyu's car?"

As the male voice yelled, mixed with the sound of whips, it seemed to be driving the carriages and horses, the horses neighed, and screams were heard everywhere.

Zhou Jingyun lifted the car curtain and looked back, and saw a gorgeous carriage and horses approaching. A young man in rich clothes, holding a whip, stood in front of the car and scolded the carriages and horses in front of him.

The car in front did not refuse to give way, but was eager to get out of the way. However, due to the large number of cars and horses and the panic, two cars were hit in a row.

The street suddenly became noisy and chaotic.

"Young man, don't be so presumptuous!" Shangguan's consort scolded him from his horse.

Princess Jinyu also raised the car curtain: "Xiao Lang, come back."

Shangguan Yue threw down the riding crop and looked aggrieved: "There are so many people in front of us, it will delay my mother's entry into the palace."

Princess Jinyu said: "What's the rush? Everyone is entering the palace, so go slowly."

Shangguan Yue said anxiously: "But my mother is a princess and belongs to the royal family -"

"Just because you are a member of the royal family, you must not bully others." Princess Jinyu said with a stern expression, "Since you call me mother, you must know the rules and don't lose my face."

Shangguan Yue bowed her head in response, moved back to the car obediently, and knelt down behind Princess Jinyu.

Princess Jinyu called to her consort: "Go and have a look. Has anyone been injured?"

Shangguan's consort responded and went to inquire as expected. The people on the carriages and horses in front said that they were not injured and were eager to get out of the way. Princess Jinyu was determined not to go first and insisted on following the order.

The street was even more chaotic, but fortunately there were servants to greet him.

"Princess, why did you come here? Please enter the palace through Xinghua Gate." They said, "In order to make the road smooth, Xinghua Gate is opened for the emperor's relatives to prevent everyone from crowding together."

This scene in front of others was enough, and Princess Jinyu no longer forced her to stay. She obeyed the arrangements of the chamberlains and followed their lead.

Discussions came from all around.

"Princess is really different from before."

"Yes, if it had been before, we would have been whipped."

"That Shangguan Xiaolang has changed his name to mother."

"The princess is really wronged for the sake of the consort."

"The outer room is even more arrogant."

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Zhuang Li saw Princess Jinyu driving through the car window from Zhou Jingyun's side. Princess Jinyu was dressed plainly, and Shangguan Yue, sitting next to her, was shining in brocade clothes and a gold crown.

Shangguan Yue raised her head to talk to Princess Jinyu, with a well-behaved look on her face. She suddenly looked over and collided with Zhuang Li's gaze. The next moment, it slipped over and landed on Zhou Jingyun.

"It's Prince Zhou." He said, smiling and gesturing to Princess Jinyu, "Mother, look at this beauty."

Princess Jinyu looked over, Zhou Jingyun leaned over and saluted, and Zhuang Li also lowered his head.

"Appearances are nothing but skin, they must be useful to the country to be its pillars." Princess Jinyu said, giving Zhou Jingyun a hard look.

Zhou Jingyun said respectfully: "I must live up to the princess's teachings."

I heard Shangguan Yue's voice in my ears: "Mother, I will also be full of poems and books and become a pillar!"

What a **** said was so funny that many people around him couldn't hold back their laughter and hurriedly covered their mouths the next moment.

Zhou Jingyun raised his head and saw Shangguan Yue looking at him. When he saw him looking over, he reached out and patted his chest, as if saying that these were all poems and books.

Princess Jinyu was amused and reached out to touch Shangguan Yue's shoulder: "Okay, I will also express my determination when I see His Majesty later."

Shangguan Yue nodded: "Don't worry, mother."

Countless people around were secretly pouting, it's strange that they can feel relieved...

Yan's mother's play was almost over, Princess Jinyu said no more, and the carriages and horses passed by.

The road is also open again.

Not long after walking, we arrived at the place where the carriages and horses were parked.

"Check, Dongyang Hou, Madam Hou, the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's Young Madam, are allowed to enter."

Accompanied by the sound of verification, Zhou Jingyun stood up to get out of the car, but suddenly Zhuang Li reached out and pulled his sleeve.

"Your Majesty."

Zhou Jingyun looked back at her. The afterglow of the sunset had dissipated, and the lights outside reflected on the carriage, making his vision dim and unclear.

"Do you want to see what I really look like?" Zhuang Li looked at him and whispered.

Is it because I can’t see it anymore?

Zhou Jingyun clenched his hands hanging in his sleeves, shook his head, and said softly: "It's better not to know, lest you see him later and reveal his flaws, which will be bad for you."

Zhuang Li looked at him, nodded, and smiled: "Okay, I will listen to the prince."

She let go.

Zhou Jingyun looked at her again, lowered his gaze, lifted the car curtain and walked out.

"Young Madam."

Chunyue was waiting outside, and Zhuang Li walked down holding her hand.

There are people everywhere here, with fragrant clothes, elegant hair, and jewels. They are familiar with each other and greet each other. As soon as Zhou Jingyun appeared, countless eyes came to him.

"It's Dongyang Hou Shizi."

"Marquis Dongyang, long time no see."

At the same time, the female relatives also came this way.

"Mrs. Hou is here."

"Oh, this is your daughter-in-law. She was finally brought out after being hidden for a long time."

"What I'm hiding is not hidden from you." Mrs. Hou said with a smile, "Come on, let you see enough today."

Mrs. Dongyang Hou glanced at Zhuang Li, who stepped forward to hold her hand and looked at Zhou Jingyun again.

Zhou Jingyun smiled at her, nodded, and said in his eyes, go ahead.

Zhuang Li lowered his head and followed Mrs. Dongyang Hou into the female relatives.

"Jingyun, let's go." Dongyang Hou called, calling Zhou Jingyun to meet a group of old friends.

Zhou Jingyun looked at Zhuang Li's back, responded "yes", and followed his father into the group of male guests.

Drums sounded in the imperial city ahead, and more lanterns lit up, making it as bright as a fairy palace.

If you think the plot is slow, please save it.
